Brian Livingston has put together an in-depth report on how podcasts can infect your PC with viruses and spyware. Quote...
“Making podcasts a safe and trouble-free technology requires a single principle from Computer Science 101: Software developers must enforce a separation of code and data. Podcatching applications and media players are code. Podcasts must always be treated as data. Podcasts must not be allowed to run scripts on a computer, install executable files, or anything of the sort.”They also offer a few simple steps people can take to protect themselves.
